In a small building by the river outside Jinling City.
"Master Sun, you almost fell into Yang Qingyuan's hands this time!" A bald head appeared from the dark shadows. It was the person who had previously covered Sun En's retreat on Purple Mountain.
Faced with this person's title, Sun En showed extreme dissatisfaction.
"You should call me Sun Tianshi!" Yang Qingyuan's martial arts is still better than him. Even if he doesn't call, Sun En can't do anything. Besides, Yang Qingyuan is a branch of Tianren Sect and a direct disciple of the Zhenwu lineage. He doesn't recognize himself as such. The title of "Heavenly Master" is also reasonable, but as a bald man, your cultivation level is not as good as mine! Why don't you call? !
The bald man bowed respectfully, "I'm rude! I remember, Taoist Master Sun!"
Sun En hardened his fist, he really wanted to hit someone!
But after thinking about it, Sun En still put down his fist. Although he was unhappy with the bald head, now everyone is still in the same boat.
"This time the matter was not completed. How should I report to King Zhao when I go back?" Sun En was still puzzled by this action.
Too hasty, too brief!
To say he is full of loopholes is to flatter him!
Firstly, it didn't distract the force, and secondly, it didn't confuse the audience. There was no plan at all, and it was all done by relying on the recklessness of the master.
Unless the Six Sword Slaves can suppress the masters on the main peak, seizing the Feihong Sword is just a delusion.
Facts have proven that Six Sword Slaves plus Liu Yidao and Wu Yun cannot suppress the masters on the main peak of Purple Mountain.
So what is the significance of this action? !
You know, asking Wu Yun to take action still took a lot of effort from the Zhao Palace, and he was caught like this! It feels like Prince Zhao’s Mansion has suffered a big loss this time!
He lost his wife and lost his troops.
Baldhead did not have a detailed answer to Sun En's puzzlement. Strictly speaking, Sun En had reached limited cooperation with them and Prince Zhao's Mansion.
We all have some common enemies and are bound by interests, so we are temporarily brought together.
They still conflict with the ultimate goals of Prince Zhao's Mansion and Sun En.
King Zhao is naturally for the world, and they also have their own interests.
Sun En, on the other hand, wanted to establish a Taiping Tao Kingdom. Anyone who puts aside this crazy idea would be afraid.
Religion and politics are spiritual forces that affect social stability, economic development and cultural changes. Political power and its application have become an indispensable means of maintaining social order and stability, while religion serves as the comfort of human emotions and the encouragement of will.
To a certain extent, the two are closely related and like-minded.
But the past events of the Three Martial Arts and One Sect have sounded the alarm to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Because of "different Tao", it is common for people to fight against each other and meet with soldiers. The Taiping Tao of Taoism is famous.
There are also extremist organizations like the White Lotus Sect in Buddhism, which have been active since the Tang Dynasty. His traces are behind many uprisings and riots.
Like the Taiping Dao, the White Lotus Sect, which was born in the Pure Land Sect and believed in Maitreya Buddha, was also labeled as a heresy by Buddhism.
In the eyes of Buddhism and Taoism, those who want to rule the world with their teachings are all lunatics.
"Dao Master Sun, there is no need to worry. Our goal has been achieved. With Yang Qingyuan's intelligence, it is impossible to see through it. Just leave now!"
When Sun En heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please call Pindao, 'Master Sun'!"
"Okay, Taoist Master Sun!" The bald head does not recognize Sun En, the Celestial Master. Although Buddhism and Taoism have always been related, Celestial Master is the honorific title of Zhang Daoling of the Later Han Dynasty, and has been passed down by the Celestial Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain. Although Sun En is extraordinary, But if you want to snatch the title of Heavenly Master, you are still a little short of the mark!
…
——
Southern Xinjiang.
Two spirited friends were walking together on the mountain road of Shiwanda Mountain.
It's okay on the outside, but the deeper you go, the worse the miasma in southern Xinjiang becomes.
This miasma in southern Xinjiang will be fatal even if an ordinary master of the Yuan Hua Realm inhales excessive amounts of it.
And for people in southern Xinjiang, this miasma is inevitable and unsolvable.
The locals in southern Xinjiang take miasma-avoiding elixirs in advance when they encounter miasma. If they are really caught by miasma, it is extremely complicated to get rid of it.
The miasma in southern Xinjiang is caused by the condensation of rising air from the decay of exotic flowers and plants accumulated over thousands of years. There are countless medicinal materials among them, and their pharmacological properties are so complex that ordinary people cannot resolve them. Even if it is Sun Shichang's own son, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to detoxify.
However, when their martial arts reached the level of Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo, they were no longer afraid of such poisonous energy.
The two of them have been wandering among the hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang for three days following the guide.
I don’t know how many poisonous insects and snakes I encountered, but there was no trace of the Blood River Sect.
"Jinbao, now that you are familiar with the Hundred Thousand Mountains, do you know of any place where a large number of people can live for a long time?!" Liu Dufeng asked one more question.
This young man named Jinbao was the guide found by Tang Shengtan, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army. He was originally from Southern Xinjiang, and his grandfather was a famous snake catcher among the various tribes in Southern Xinjiang. He often traveled to dangerous mountains and rivers. Catch various venomous snakes.
Later, due to tribal wars, they fled into the territory of the Zhou Dynasty and were rescued by the Shenwu Army stationed at the border.
After confirming that these people were harmless, the Shenwu Army kept them.
In the previous counterattack organized by Tang Yexiao, this young man Jinbao had a share of the credit.
"Liu Ajie, we people in southern Xinjiang generally choose two types of places to build strongholds. Either they are in ventilated and open valleys where the miasma cannot get close and will be blown away by the wind; or they are on dangerous peaks and plateaus where the miasma is difficult to reach. , each has its own advantages and disadvantages.”
After getting along with each other for a few days, Jin Bao also became familiar with Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo, and he didn't show any concern at all, so he just called them "Achai".
"Acha" is the name of my grandfather's generation.
"We have been wandering around this hundred thousand mountains for three days, and we have only seen two tribes!"
"It's not that there are few tribes, it's that there are few places suitable for large numbers of people to live together!" Jinbao explained.
There are thirty-six village chiefs and seventy-two cave barbarians in this southern Xinjiang. The large population settlements are basically occupied by these families. The place where the three of them are now is still the junction area of the Southern Border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Xinjiang.
Here are some tribes that are not very powerful. They survive in the cracks and rely on the trade caravans on both sides to settle down and develop.
"Brother Liu, I know that the Blood River Evil Sect must be hidden deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang. I think we have to go in there next!"
Hearing this, Jinbao felt a little embarrassed.
In his eyes, Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo were just two handsome old men.
Although the Chief Governor of the Shenwu Army came forward, Jinbao felt that these two should be famous doctors from the Great Zhou Dynasty who came to southern Xinjiang to collect medicine.
There have been many such incidents before, and several of them died in the mountains of southern Xinjiang.
Seeing the hesitation on Jin Bao's face, Liu Dufeng asked, "What's the inconvenience for Jin Bao?"
After entering the Fa Tianxiang Earth, Liu Dufeng's looming Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi has been completely restrained. He just looks like a kind old man!
Although the venomous snakes and beasts are less intelligent, their natural alertness to danger prevents them from getting close to the two of them.
These days, Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng have not shown their martial arts skills in front of Jinbao, which makes Jinbao completely unaware of the existence of Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo.
"No, no!" Jinbao explained again and again, and even repeated it because he was afraid that the two of them would misunderstand, "It's not inconvenient for Jinbao. Although this mountain is dangerous, I have walked there more than once! Mainly because of you two There will be inconvenience. Although you are in good spirits, you are still old after all, and it is very dangerous!"
"Hahaha! Brother Zhuge, you and I are regarded as old men by little brother Jinbao!" Liu Dufeng couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Zhuge Zhengwo also smiled slightly, "Brother Liu, aren't you and I still old?!"
Zhuge Zhengwo's words made Liu Dufeng's laughter pause, and then he laughed even louder, "Hahaha, what Brother Zhuge said is true, we are old!"
Seeing this, Zhuge Zhengwo said, "Little brother, when we were young, we learned martial arts, and we are still a little bit rudimentary in martial arts. Compared with ordinary middle-aged people, the physical strength of the two of us is not much different. Don’t think of us as old people dying of old age!”
Jinbao looked at the two of them and found it difficult to connect them with martial arts masters.
The master Jin Bao had not seen it before. The master of the hostile tribe who attacked them was ten feet tall, with muscles all over his body, and immense strength. He held a huge tree and broke open the wooden door of the village in just a quarter of an hour.
Jin Bao also knew the masters of the Shenwu Army. Tang Yexiao, the young marshal of the Shenwu Army, was a master of the Yuanhua Realm. Although he was not old, he naturally had a murderous aura about him.
Zhuge Zhengwo and Liu Dufeng don't look like masters at all.
But both of them said so, and Jinbao couldn't refuse them. After all, Tang Shengtan, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, sent people to find his grandfather this time.
"Okay! Then you must follow Jinbao closely! Jinbao has a secret medicine prepared by Ah Cha, which can prevent the poisonous snakes and insects in the depths from approaching!"
At this point, Jinbao whispered to himself, "The medicine prepared by Ah Chai seems to be more powerful than before."
Although few venomous snakes and venomous insects dared to approach in the past, the effect was not as good as this. So far, no venomous insects or venomous snakes have bothered me.
Hiding the doubts in his heart, Jin Bao led Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo towards the depths of Shiwan Mountain.
At night, the three of them found a valley that could shelter them from the wind and rain to rest.
Jinbao skillfully lit a bonfire with fire sticks. Although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was already familiar with doing these things.
"You two, sit closer to the fire. Those snakes and insects are afraid of the flames and don't dare to come near you!"
After working for a while, Jinbao sat down.
Liu Dufeng also took out three portions of dried meat from his backpack. This was the military ration of the Shenwu Army. It was extremely hungry and had ten times the protein of beef.
"Jinbao! Have you ever learned martial arts?!"
Liu Dufeng saw that when Jin Bao was chopping the branches just now, he still had some tricks on his sword.
"Yeah, Jin Bao has learned it before!" Jin Bao said and was about to get up and demonstrate to the two of them, but Liu Dufeng stopped him.
"This is the self-defense sword technique that General Tang taught me!" The General Tang he mentioned was naturally Tang Yexiao.
However, I only learned some superficial moves and no internal skills.
After Liu Dufeng got along with him, he felt that this little guy was innocent and cute, kind-hearted, and could distinguish right from wrong, so he immediately wanted to enlighten him.
"It's indeed a good swordsmanship, but there's still something missing!"
Jinbao was a little unhappy when he heard this. This was taught by his friend General Tang, how could he be short of things?
Liu Dufeng and Zhuge Zhengwo have been fighting against the great robbers and treacherous people in the court all year round. How can they not understand the thoughts of a child? !
"Hahahaha, it's not that there's something wrong with your sword skills, it's just that your breathing is wrong!"
"Breathe?!" Jin Bao was stunned. Isn't everyone able to breathe?
"Come, let me teach you how to breathe!" Liu Dufeng popped out a soft ray of true energy from his left hand and guided Jinbao to breathe.
Jin Bao's basic qualifications are not bad, but under the leadership of Liu Dufeng's true energy, after three or four weeks of circulation, the true energy was generated and circulated on its own.
"Huh!" Jin Bao let out a long breath. He felt that he was a little different from the past, but he couldn't tell what was different. He only felt that there was some power contained in his limbs and eight meridians.
"Jinbao should remember this breathing method carefully and practice it every morning and evening. It has the effect of strengthening the body."
What Liu Dufeng taught was the Zhoutian Breathing Method, which is relatively common in the world.
However, the mental method that allows Liu Dufeng to teach the Law of Heaven, Elephant and Earth is naturally not an ordinary method. It is a method taught by Dali Temple's Academy of Criminal Law. It is a version that has been perfected and improved by Yang Qingyuan and Zhang Sanfeng.
It's not a magical or secret method, but it's so peaceful and upright that even people with no foundation in internal skills can practice it.
"Thank you, Liu Achai!"
Liu Dufeng smiled and nodded, waving his hand to express his gratitude.
"Okay, it's getting late! Let's go to bed early!"
Jin Bao looked around and said, "You two, you guys go to bed first! I'll keep watch!"
Although this valley is nice, there are many downed vegetation around it. From Jinbao's perspective, there might be a big python infested here. Even though a bonfire is lit, it cannot be guaranteed to be safe.
"It doesn't matter, you go to sleep first! You are young and it is time for you to grow. Liu Acha is old and needs less sleep!"
Saying this, regardless of Jinbao's objection, Jinbao fell to the ground with just a flick of his hand.
"What a strong force!" Jinbao muttered softly. He had no room to resist with the brush just now.
However, the young man had nothing to worry about and soon fell asleep.
The only sounds left at night were the chirping of insects and the crackle of the campfire.
"Brother Zhuge, it seems we have chosen a place where big guys often hang out!"
The two of them are the leaders of the second part of the Six Dark Departments, and they have long discovered the overwhelmed vegetation.
It's just that the two of them didn't care.
When their martial arts reached their level, an ordinary python would be nothing more than a Hunyuan body-shattering invisible sword energy in front of Liu Dufeng!
"It's indeed not small!" Zhuge Zhengwo also nodded, and he also saw the overwhelming vegetation. If it was a python, its body shape was really not small. "This hundred thousand mountains in southern Xinjiang are indeed filled with many mysteries! "
The night became more and more silent, as quiet as water, and even the chirping of insects seemed to have disappeared. It was eerily quiet.
